Window cleaning in Mount Pleasant, SC, done by hand inside and out, with screens, tracks and sills detailed so the view across the marsh or harbor is the first thing you notice again.
Most of the windows we clean in Mount Pleasant are not truly dirty in the usual sense. They are clouded. Salt carried on the breeze from Charleston Harbor dries into a fine haze, spring pollen from the oaks and pines settles on top, and sprinklers along the foundation leave mineral spots on the lower panes. Each layer is thin; together they flatten the light coming into the house.
The homes here give us a wide range of glass to work with. In I’On, many houses follow the Charleston single house pattern, with tall divided-light windows facing long side porches. Homes along the bluffs in the Old Village look across the harbor toward the peninsula and Sullivan’s Island, and their owners want that view crisp. Newer houses in Carolina Park and Park West tend toward larger panes, transoms and two-story foyers that are hard to reach without the right ladders and poles.
We clean all of it by hand, then detail the frames, sills and tracks so the job looks finished up close. Many clients pair a visit with a house wash in Mount Pleasant so runoff from the siding does not spot freshly cleaned glass; we sequence the two in the right order. Our main window cleaning service page covers specialty glass and maintenance plans in more depth.
A standard visit covers the glass and everything around it. You can add or remove pieces depending on the season and the house.
Every pane is washed and squeegeed by hand, outside and in, and edges are wiped dry so you do not see streaks when the afternoon sun comes through. Divided-light and true-muntin windows are handled pane by pane rather than sprayed and wiped.
Screens are removed, brushed and rinsed of pollen and salt, then reinstalled. Tracks and sills are vacuumed and wiped, which matters in Mount Pleasant because grit and pine pollen pack into sliding door tracks on porches and decks.
Raised homes near the marsh and three-story houses in newer neighborhoods get the equipment they need, from extension poles to ladders with standoffs that keep weight off gutters and trim. We plan access before arriving, so the visit runs smoothly.
Arched transoms, skylights, glass railings and custom architectural glass are cleaned with methods suited to each, including soft cloths on coated or older wavy glass that can scratch easily. We ask about any special coatings before we begin.

Mount Pleasant sits on the east side of Charleston Harbor between the Cooper and Wando Rivers, and a great many of its homes are oriented toward water, marsh or golf course views. That orientation is exactly why the glass matters, and why it fogs over so quickly with salt, pollen and irrigation spotting.
Homes on the Old Village bluffs and along Shem Creek and Hobcaw Creek face open water, where wind-driven salt dries on glass as a hazy film that dulls the view.
Side porches and two-story piazzas in I’On and the Old Village shelter windows from rain, so grime that would otherwise wash off stays put and needs hand cleaning.
From late winter into spring, oak and pine pollen coats screens and glass in a yellow layer. Cleaning after the heaviest drop gives the longest-lasting result.
Houses in Carolina Park, Park West and Dunes West often have transoms, foyer windows and stacked panes that need extension equipment and careful ladder work.
We note the number and type of windows, screens and any hard-to-reach glass, then give you a written estimate before scheduling.
Drop cloths go down under interior windows, shoes are covered, and furniture is moved only with your permission and put back where it was.
Glass is washed and squeegeed, screens are cleaned, and frames, sills and tracks are wiped so the window is finished, not just the pane.
Before we leave, we look at the glass from inside with the light behind it and touch up any edge or spot we missed.
Window cleaning means people in your home, often while you are working or away. Our crews are prompt, courteous and careful with floors, rugs and furnishings. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and have served more than 4,000 clients since 2008, many of them right here near our Mount Pleasant office.
Glass, frames, sills and tracks are all part of the job, so the window looks clean when you stand next to it, not only from the street.
Drop cloths, shoe covers and a tidy finish are standard. We treat second homes and occupied homes with the same care.
We can time visits after spring pollen or before guests arrive, and coordinate with a house wash so the order of work makes sense.
Twice a year works well for most Mount Pleasant homes: once in late spring after the heavy oak and pine pollen, and again in the fall. Homes facing the harbor or marsh collect salt film faster and may benefit from a quarterly exterior cleaning. We offer recurring plans so you do not have to remember to call.
Yes. Screens are removed, brushed and rinsed, then put back. Tracks and sills are vacuumed and wiped down. In Mount Pleasant this detail matters, because pollen, sand and grit build up in sliding door and window tracks and can make them stick or look dirty even when the glass is clean.
Yes. Many homes near the marsh are elevated, and some newer Mount Pleasant houses have three floors or tall foyer windows. We bring extension poles and ladders sized for the job, use standoffs so ladders do not rest on gutters or trim, and plan access ahead of time when windows sit above roofs or decks.
Those are usually mineral deposits from irrigation spray or water that runs off the roof and siding. Ordinary glass cleaner will not lift them once they have dried for a while. We use methods suited to hard water spotting and, where possible, suggest adjusting sprinkler heads so the lower panes stay clear longer between visits.
Wash the house first. A soft wash rinses algae and pollen down the siding and across the glass, so cleaning windows beforehand means doing them twice. When you book both, we schedule the house wash first and the windows afterward, often within the same visit, so you end with clean siding and clear glass.
The number and size of windows, whether you want interior and exterior or exterior only, divided-light panes, screens, tracks, and how hard the glass is to reach all play a part. Heavy hard water spotting or paint overspray takes extra time. We provide a written estimate after reviewing the home.
Call (843) 926-6554 or send us a note, and we will arrange a time to see your windows and give you an estimate.
